Hello everyone,

 

My Mom's I130 got approved on 1/16/24 and today 1/17/24 I received NVC welcome letter.

I paid all the fees, now they are in process.

 

I have a few questions regarding filing I864L

 

1) In part 5: sponsor's household size.

Item 8 asks to add together all the numbers from 1 to 7

However number 1 is populated in item 8 and I can not edit it. How did you all do this? I included image of what i mean

 

2) Should I include bonus in my annual income? I base pay is way more than NVC requires though.  Thanks every one so much

yeah this portion was really frustrating to me too cos I couldn’t edit it. I have the most recent adobe version and i still couldn’t edit this part same goes with the employer part so I just printed the form and hand filled all the questions. Argh. Wait till you are uploading them hopefully you wouldn’t have any difficulties as i did. 😪

Thank you so much

Do you know if i should include bonus in current income?

Also in section 6, 24a it asks you to fill in information about tax year and income, I attached it.

Should I use just my income or combined income with my spouse? we file joint tax returns and I have to use him as co sponsor

ok so the current income is your estimated income for this year 2024 and it will include all your “income regardless if it’s bonus it will still be income” somebody corrected me on this but with mine I included the bonuses since it is technically an income and still counted on my w2. For the 24a total income it will include your husband’s since you are filing jointly and since he is your co-sponsor meaning household member not a joint sponsor (I was confused with this before but there are bunch of youtube videos I have watched with very good explanations) assuming your husband live with you and you file jointly he is a household member and will fill out I-864A the total income will have to include both your income. Attached both your w2’s and should be good to go also don’t forget the tax transcripts.

Thank you so very much, yes, that makes sense.

So do you think i should include bonus in my 2024 income even though i will get bonus at the end of the year?

tax returns and w2s will show bonus for past years

Do you know how soon each case was approved. Only one parent approved thus far in NVC where i submitted mostly everything. other parent is still shows 2 months...

 

Anyone else can provide approval time frame between parents?

 

Thanks, 

Did you receive the approval for the other parent? If yes, how soon after the 1st one you got the approval? I'm in the same boat awaiting the approval for other parent.
